Posted by Tom Lindmark on March 14th, 2009

Simon Johnson has a must read piece in the Telegraph. It’s title is “G-20′s Real Agenda Should be Saving Europe From Itself. In case you aren’t familiar with Mr. Johnson, he was the chief economist for the IMF and is widely respected.

Mr. Johnson also writes a blog called the Baseline Scenario which day in and day out provides some of the best commentary on the Web. He draws on his economics background as well as his policy background which brings a unique perspective and realistic view of what’s really going on behind the scenes.

Do take a few minutes to read his article. The points he raises are fundamentally important.
